Yesterday afternoon, hours before the official announcement, bookmakers Paddy Power declared they believed the Tory had won the contest for London Mayor.
The £100,000 payout, which could have backfired if Ken Livingstone won, caught the mood of change in the capital after Labour suffered its worst town hall election results for 40 years.
It crashed to third place with only 24 per cent of the vote. The Prime Minister also appeared to think a Johnson victory was on the cards. He said he had called Mr Livingstone to thank him for all he had done for the capital.
